This Tuesday was held in Marseille on the second day of the trial of doctors Guedj, accused of having enriched themselves on the back of Social Security by mutilating hundreds of modest patients.
The former collaborators of the dentists drew up a long list of failings by the dentists, not hesitating to accuse them of falsifying X-rays.
At the bar of the sixth chamber of the Marseille criminal court, where he is heard this Tuesday as a witness, Benoît D. is tormented.
His former best friend and associate Lionel Guedj sits behind him in the dock.
Both have been running a dental practice for several years in the northern districts of Marseille.
Lionel Guedj's father, Jean-Claude, also a dentist, quickly joined them.
At the request of the president, Benoît D. recounts the day when Lionel Guedj came to see him to show him a patient's x-ray.
“He asked me what I thought of it, because he was being checked by the Primary Health Insurance Fund (CPAM) on this file, affirms Benoît D. It appeared that on all the teeth of this patient, there had been a reconstruction.
We see that the teeth have been healed by white spots on the x-ray.
I was working.
I didn't watch three hours, but I told him I felt justified.

“He had used Paint to add white spots”
Some time later, Benoît D. is having lunch with the practice's medical secretary, Loetitia, and the dental assistant, Nadia.
“Loetitia explained to me that the radio he had presented to me to get my opinion was a doctored radio.
Our software allows you to output the radio in Jpeg format.
He had used Paint to add white spots with the brush, and he had shown me this x-ray to see if I noticed anything.

Behind him, Jean-Claude Guedj shakes his head while Lionel Guedj stares at the ground.
Father and son have been appearing since Monday before the Marseille Criminal Court, accused of having enriched themselves on the back of the "Security" with unjustified and botched operations on hundreds of patients, mutilated for life for some, between 2006 and 2012 .
“One day, I entered the cabinet, and I saw lots of radios in the trash,” abounds Leotitia at the helm.
"It came out of the printer and was thrown away if it wasn't good enough," she accuses.
A medical secretary "to do everything" ... including dental procedures for which she was not authorized, at the request of her boss Lionel Guedj.
“For lack of time, we had to release the patient, so we were going to remove the whitening,” says the one who also carried out the x-rays.
During the investigation, Lionel Guedj will claim to receive nearly 70 patients a day, at the rate of ten minutes per patient, for a record annual turnover exceeding two million euros.
Quotes signed on behalf of patients
A secretary who, according to her statements at the bar, also had to deal with the shortcomings on the numerous unsigned quotes requested by Lionel Guedj.
“When it was not signed, especially the support, at some point you had to have them sign to get paid, justifies Loetitia.
So I wasn't making a false signature, I was writing the patient's name.

Faced with this litany of dubious practices listed by their former collaborators, Jean-Claude Guedj says he is very surprised.
“With the experience I had, if I had seen bizarre acts, it is obvious that I would have spoken to my son about it, says the dentist.
After all, we are not Superman dentists.
We may have had treatment failures, like all practitioners.

“If you are not happy with a dentist, you do not go there once, twice, three times, and I do not send my father, my mother and my sister, Lionel is annoyed on his side Guedj, with this aggressiveness that hasn't left him since the start of the trial.
I was trained by the greatest teachers in Marseille.
Nearly 322 people have filed civil suits in this case.
